Set to broadcast in two one-hour films, this family treat is inspired by the classic books of Barbara Euphan Todd and is pegged to be the TV event of the season. Mackenzie Crook has taken Scatterbrook farm and the infamous characters of this well-loved tale and injected them with a tender and authentic charm. This is the perfect family adventure, packed with a fun, mischievous spirit and delivered with an environmental message.
Mackenzie Crook, (Pirates Of The Caribbean, Detectorists) who has written, directed and stars as Worzel Gummidge, has gathered a host of both accomplished and brilliant actors who are set to appear in this eagerly anticipated adaptation.
Playing The Green Man, creator of the scarecrows, who arrives to Scatterbrook in episode two, is comedy legend Sir Michael Palin. He says: “It’s a lovely part for me, but the whole script is very memorable and touching, and very funny too. It quite skillfully weaves in something for everybody all the time.”
Zoë Wanamaker (My Family, Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone) will play the eccentric local aristocrat, Lady Bloomsbury Barton in episode two. She says: “The whole thing is so charming and inventive. It’s the sort of thing I’d watch. I’m sure it will be a huge success. I know it will - it’s divine.”
Vicki Pepperdine (Getting On, The Windsors) takes on the role of the formidable Aunt Sally in episode one. She says: “There’s something for everybody. It’s got this heart to it, and you’d be hard pushed as an adult not to engage with it.”
Steve Pemberton (League Of Gentleman, Benidorm) will play Mr Braithwaite, the farmer. He says: “This is the kind of show the whole family can enjoy together. It has a lot of humour, a lot of visual humour too, and I think kids will enjoy watching the children being central to the story.”
Rosie Cavaliero (Gentleman Jack, Cleaning Up) will play Mrs Braithwaite, she added: “It’s a story about the imagination, and children escaping into this different world. Mackenzie’s version is totally contemporary.”
Ones to watch India Brown (Hetty Feather) and Thierry Wickens (making his TV debut) will play Susan and John, two city children spending their summer at Scatterbrook farm who quickly befriend Worzel and begin a summer of adventures.
The first episode, The Scarecrow Of Scatterbrook, sees two young strangers arrive in the village of Scatterbrook. It’s not long before Susan and John encounter Worzel Gummidge, the Scarecrow of Ten Acre Field. Their world is sent spinning into confusion when they realise Gummidge comes to life. The only person more shocked is Worzel, when he discovers that the children are not in fact fellow scarecrows but humans.
Their worlds should never commune but fate has conspired to create an extraordinary union. The seasons have stopped and the harvest hasn’t arrived. The rhythm of the natural world is out of kilter and this unlikely trio must try to put it right. Magic, mystery and mayhem unfurl.
The second episode, The Green Man, welcomes another mysterious arrival to Scatterbrook. The Green Man is the creator of scarecrows and keeper of scarecrow lore. He isn’t at all happy that Worzel is consorting with humans. Elsewhere, local aristocrat Lady Bloomsbury Barton is holding a fete, with a Scarecrow competition that Worzel is determined to win. What will The Green Man and Worzel's most competitive rival, Soggy Bogart make of it all?
Worzel Gummidge is written and directed by Mackenzie Crook and is a Leopard Pictures, Treasure Trove Productions and Lola Entertainment production for BBC One. It is Executive Produced by Kristian Smith for Leopard Pictures, Lisa Thomas for Lola Entertainment, Mackenzie Crook for Treasure Trove Productions, with rights holders Patrick D. Pidgeon and Eric S. Rollman executive producers for Pidgeon Entertainment, Inc. It is produced by Georgie Fallon and Alex Moody is the Commissioning Editor for the BBC.

艺术家这个东西，也得以吃饱喝足为前提吧，不过一般来说，生活越不圆满创造力越旺盛。。。
因為在追完日劇版後，我又看了漫畫原著，大概猜得到電影版內容是什麼，但為了支持還是買票看了。前段是安達調職長崎，雙方因距離產生不安，在一些事件後，安達終於從魔法師畢業，並跟黑澤同居，但居然是黑澤搬去跟安達同居，完全跌破眼鏡，那個房間超小的，要怎麼讓兩個成人一起住，就算是情侶也太艱難XD
虽然电影版是为了发糖而存在的，但剧情还是发大水了。建议日影以后把出柜和见家长分开拍，不然拍不出那种感觉。其实同床啊结婚啊都不如最后两个人手牵手、在公园悠闲散步来得感人。魔法再好，平淡为真...
说教太多而画猫的部分实在太少。大篇幅讲了画家的家庭背景，但并看不出他为什么钟爱拟人化猫这一创作主题。所有画猫的过程都一带而过。
亲情是最大的主题，着实很感动，其次是爱情呀，喔磕了，允儿
虽然这部电影台词做作，剧情俗套，用力过猛，煽情过度，林允儿在里面以超级花瓶出现，创造了几乎毫无意义的感情线，总的来说它涵盖了差不多韩国电影全部的缺点，因此毫无悬念的在去年年底韩国电影青龙奖全面输给题材更宏大，立意更高的另外两部韩国佳作《摩加迪沙》和《兹山鱼谱》，但我还是强烈推荐大家去看一看本片，体会体会一部电影是如何把调动感情这一套玩到了极致。
想知道是哪位民族英雄在靖国神社的厕所里抹了屎——flowers 第2季 第1，2集
这就是“普通人”用梦想与执念创造奇迹的过程。原以为是一部轻松励志的电影，却被中途姐姐的“存在”而触动到，情感的传承一直牵动着“天才弟弟”建立车站的梦想，最后弟弟与姐姐的告别，也是自己与过去的告别，也是自己未来旅程的开启，有感动，也有希望。
其次，主人公起起落落的人生带着观众沉浸其中，情绪随之起伏调动。
去年看的，忘记标了。精神病人关怀月后选片单。女性工作是人类幸福的必要条件。
亲情是最大的主题，着实很感动，其次是爱情呀，喔磕了，允儿
加一星给本尼的表演和用滤镜堆出来的美景
劇情在我沒看時就猜到了，雖說了無新意，不過看著他們日常，挺好，婚禮，更好。
有这样的姐姐，更有这样的女友，还能要求什么呢？
虽然蕴含了一些真挚的情感，但趋于平淡的故事情节还是让整部影片稍显逊色。
这角色没人比朴正民更合适了，他长相就一整个淳朴但又机灵的乡村男青年，姐姐演得蛮好，电影色调也很喜欢！列车员爹劝男主考试去的时候，说停就停真的不会导致事故嘛…
C / 很一般 “奇迹”立意太高 结构有点偏混乱 叙事太散 也不是完全集中在"车站"的故事上 更像一个数学天才的传记电影
内核依旧是家庭温情的爱情轻喜剧，真实故事改编，韩国男演员的哭戏还是挺不错，有一定可看性。但个人还是更喜欢是枝裕和那版《奇迹》，也是有原型的儿童视角的故事设计，更感人。7分
在色彩风格上确实让我感到惊喜，经典学院派的比例的电影画幅，带有年代质感的镜头美得一塌糊涂。但旁白和后半部故事的剧情还是没有让我太喜欢。
凭一己之力的天才改变世人对猫的偏见，但超凡的头脑注定癫狂。服装与场景设计非常养眼，本尼和Claire表演细腻又感人。
